Sterilite 16959012 Mini Crate, Black, 12-Pack

Love the crates but they put a sticker on them that’s impossible to remove without scratching up the crate. Why do this? 2 hours To just remove the stickers. Why? Other than that. Great!

Product arrived quickly and is exactly what I needed!

These are hands-down the best crates for quality, style, and (almost) price. Buy them now.If you need a little more convincing...Be careful of the cheaper Sterilite file crates that don't have the circle-shaped side cutouts. This version (16939006) is the best of all crates on the market and on the lower end of price spectrum as well. You can stack these top-to-bottom, as well as side-to-side (e.g. create a bookshelf). MOST OTHERS WON'T stack side-to-side. Each way you can stack it has tabs or grooves to lock into position (versus cheaper ones that don't lock into place on side-to-side configurations).Another reviewer complained about the price of these crates. I can understand, but they were spoiled due to getting an awesome deal. These nicer ones go for about $7 + tax at a certain superstore retailer, so Amazon is 5 bucks high right now ($50 for 6 instead of about $45 after tax in a store). Amazon apparently does do (or has had) sales where they went down into the $30-dollar range on these nicer ones. However, it's worth the extra 5 bucks for me not to wait in line and haul these monsters home (they rarely have this many in stock anyway). Just bite the bullet and get the good ones here & now, you won't regret it. They are worth it at this price ($50).Ideal uses:-File folders (can easily replace an expensive file cabinet and is better because you can haul a single crate anywhere and sort through it)-Bookshelves (put them on their side and stack them to fit your space)-Raw papers (I store reams of legal docs too large to put in individual file folders with a fancy colored-sheet to separate and they fit great)-Kid-stuff organizersThese are sturdy and handle being filled to the brim with paper. I have some as old as 5 years that are still like new and take heavy use.Once you've used a file crate, whether this model or not, you'll never go back. The modular aspect is a game-changer:1) You can take just what you need into your living room or put it into your car.2) Each crate can keep a different category of stuff (vs. just 3 or 4 drawers to choose from in a file cabinet)3) You can keep the most frequently used crates on top / near at hand4) You can stack/configure the crates to suit your space/whim (vs. a gigantic file cabinet - these can be put in tight cubby holes, under desks, in closets)5) You can grow your storage as you need it (I add crates to my "bookshelf", my legal cases, every new year of taxes, etc)6) You can use them for random needs in a pinch and haul it somewhere (the circles are small enough to keep most things inside, great for game system cables and discs, dvds, etc.)7) Dirt. Cheap.8) Lasts. Even the best quality boxes fail after moderate handling or age. Heaven help you if one gets wet. These babies are tuff.9) Even full they are manageable (think hauling around a huge heavy box / plastic tote full of paper vs. this smaller crate)The only reasons I can think of not to buy these at Amazon would be 1) color preference or 2) a requirement for sealed containment. They do come in variations such as purple in stores.Welcome to a better way of living. If you buy these, they will be the first of many. They are the kind of thing that is so useful you give them to friends as gifts.

I have some of this type from years ago that are sturdier than these. I think for the .02 cents they save by using less plastic, they should put it back in. This will work ok for light things. If you need to hold a lot of weight, you may want to look into actual milk crates, which are designed to hold 24 pounds EASILY and last for 20 years of heavy use.

We use these for raffle baskets. They're useful for many small things and reasonably priced.

Product delivered quicker than scheduled (was at my door in 2 days)......Overall happy with the storage bins. I bought these bins to store my vinyl music albums. Each crate holds 60-65 vinyl albums. Fairly sturdy and easy to lift. You cannot stack these on top of each other if you are using them for vinyl LPs as the height is not high enough.I need to order more of these as I have a lot of vinyl LPs. Happy and satisfied.

I used it for a bookcase-

I purchased a couple of these storage crates from Walmart last year and I love them. So I purchased a six pack from Amazon at what I consider to be a very good price. These bins are very sturdy and can hold a lot of weight. You can use these bins for so many items. I have one on the back of my four wheeler to carry smaller items around and despite the sliding around in the back of it and the heavy items, it never has cracked or broken in a year from my previous purchase. If you are a car detailer, this holds your wet towels perfectly without getting moldy and makes it convenient to take to the washer. Are use this to transport items from our garage to our house as we have a beer/soda refrigerator out there . I keep one of these in the back of my wife’s SUV for her to put in grocery bags so they don’t roll around and the contents fall out. The stack perfectly so if you have anything that you want to store and be able to see what’s in the bin, these are absolutely perfect. I have 10 of these now, and I probably will buy another six packs from Amazon to store things in my basement. The quality is excellent, I found no sharp edges or weak spots in these bins.

I bought these to hold CDs and taller books. I am very pleased that they hold a good number of CDs, but wish they were longer, because another inch would have made all the difference in being able to shelf and display my trade paperback books.They sit sturdily and connect well. Overall, I would recommend these.

I bought these because another reviewer had said that she used them for classroom stools. "Awesome!" I thought, "that's my plan too!". However, when they arrived two were already slightly bent. I put some files in it in the hopes that they would kind of shore things up. No such luck. My nephew cracked one the moment he sat on it and it was bowing out the side. (He's about 50lbs) These are fine for holding files. I wouldn't over stuff them because they really aren't terribly sturdy. Kind of one of those "get what you pay for" type things.

They're fine, but they are not standard milk crate size and so won't fit in Ikea Kallax shelving or other purposes that are designed around a standard milk crate. Unfortunately this makes them useless for my intended purpose, but they can still be relegated to something else so I will keep them.

Contient tous mes pendaflex, parfaitement appuyés sur le rebord prévu à cet effet. Très solides et vraiment satisfaite du produit.La seule raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas mis 5 étoiles c'est que Purolator a livré à la rue voisine (même numéro de porte), une chance que nous avons de bons voisins!

Buenisimo!!! las compre para hacer el super, tienen un excelente tamaño y son comodas al cargar (no lastiman los dedos como otros) , las recomiendo totalmente
